MOD­ERN WORK RO­MANCE FOR JULIE?

Julie Bowen’s re­cent mar­riage break­down an­nounce­ment came as a shock to many, but it turns out she se­cretly split from hus­band Scott Phillips a year be­fore she filed for divorce.

And ap­par­ently the Mod­ern Fam­ily ac­tress, 47, has wasted no time jump­ing back into the dat­ing game – mak­ing a move on the co-cre­ator of her hit show!

“One of the guys she’s gone out with is her boss, Steven Le­vi­tan,” says a source. “She’s al­ways looked up to him and thought he was at­trac­tive.”

Like Julie, Steven, 55, is go­ing through his own divorce from wife Krista. But ac­cord­ing to an in­sider, Julie, who has sons Oliver, 10, and eight-year-old twins John and Gus­tav with her ex, is in no rush to set­tle down again af­ter 13 years of mar­ried life.

“Julie’s not ready to jump into any­thing too se­ri­ous just yet,” ex­plains the source. “She’s look­ing to date a va­ri­ety of men – test the wa­ters.”
